Kanye West is still defending his Twitter joke regarding Britney Spears and iTunes. The rapper joked that he would 'let' Britney Spears be #1, in a tongue-in-cheek nod to his infamous Taylor Swift interruption at the 2009 VMAs. But apparently, folks are still not getting the joke.
"Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany," Kanye said in a lengthy diatribe on Twitter. "This sh*t takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports… enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work.There’s a new lie everyday… a new media spin… I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago!"
"I’m one of the most considerate people in real life," West continued. "Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real. There is no astronaut training for celebrity… even though this whole life is so outer space! I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes. How can u “let” someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me. When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all! But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That’s just not my style!"
"As pop stars we’re all in this sh*t together! We on the inside of the TV! If the media wants to make a story … just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar."
"If you don’t give em a story they just make one up," Kanye added. "I’m just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope shit to the world! Once again thank you to all my fans who made MBDTF certified platinum! You all give me the power and I never take it for granted. I am an extension of my listeners. I won’t always say the right thing but my heart is always in the right place."

Sometimes if you have a tendency of being real, some people will misconstrued that as being arrogant. I know this by experience. We can be most misunderstood people around!
Man, Kanye... The media has been messing folks up for decades now... From the front lines of the war to the VMA's on TV... If you really wanna show them, take your own microphone and camera to the red carpet and interview them about some controversy in their personal lives... lol... i would watch that everyday...
